Just a heads up that Newegg has game pass PC that converts to ultimate And is about 15/month after conversion but they have limits. So this is still a good deal but I'd try the other deal too if stacking.
edited to add:
PC Game Pass conversion percentage: 65% of your remaining time will convert to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and be rounded up to the next full day. For example, 90 days remaining of PC Game Pass will convert to 59 days of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time.
i dont trust MS anymore, feels like they are giving up. I dont trust them to make another console.
I'll get down voted to hell, but I think MS shouldn't make another console. They should make a PC that can natively connect to game controllers and can handle displaying to 87 inch 4k screens. The need for consoles has passed.

I mean, that's exactly what they are doing if rumors are correct. Throwing a lot of specs to create a super computer that provides a console experience. So they will no longer be competing with Sony as they will have an apu that companies can build around battle with the pc market.

Consoles aren't going anywhere. The PC crowd is the same as the streaming crowd, who, for the last 10 years, have sworn that theaters are dead. You guys keep exaggerating the death of consoles. The vast majority of gamers do not want to bother having to figure out why their games won't start, or whether their machine can run something, or having to do something like starting up secure boot to play Battlefield 6. People just want to turn their machine on and immediately start something up. Not to mention the biggest barrier to entry; price. PCs are twice the price, just for the equivalent of a Series X or PS5. Xbox will definitely exit the console market after the next console gives them their third failure in a row, but we're going to be seeing new Nintendo systems and PlayStations for at least a few more generations.

This.
The definition of a console, to many people, is not really "a powerful, specialized computer that can play the latest AAA games in 4K" but rather "a machine you can buy in Target/Walmart/GameStop that plays the latest games with 5 minutes of setup". Most people have absolutely no clues they use AMD APU/Nvidia GPU or something else. The just know it works.
Consoles dead? LOL, I'm already annoyed that modern consoles are basically as complicated as PCs (even the Switch sometimes).
You know who is really winning? Tablets and phones. They do what normal consoles used to do -- turn it on, play 5 minutes or 3 hours, and walk away. No maintenance, few upgrades.
If consoles are dead it's because they tried to hard to be PCs.

I think they plan on stopping consoles after their next gen and shifting focus to software. That's their moneymaker. Why else would we get exclusives like gears of war on PlayStation?
Yeah I'll just stick to Eneba. $15.25 after tax and fees for 3 month Core converted to 32 days of Ultimate. 94 days for $45.75. Not as good as when it was 45 days converted but still better than this "deal".

Consoles are dead cause kids only play Roblox now and it's much better on PC.
